Make sure to have your old pots and pans ready. If the eclipse is
lasting too long you can scare the dragon into spitting out the sun by
banging on them loudly. Belt & suspenders for the ECOM folks.

First hand very very early report: Bright sun, very round.
Semicircular black disk begins to cover the sun, more and more,
eventually just a teeny tiny speck of the limb remains and is very
bright, then night. Then the video tape runs backwards and it's day
again. If clouds, it just gets dark, then day-ish again. Given the
physics, they're all exactly alike, and will be for perhaps 600
million years when the last one will occur. Like snowflakes ... seen
one you've seen 'em all, notwithstanding the urban legend that every
one is different.
We'd still have driven to Oregon if it would have worked out. [:-)

We traveled to South Carolina to add in some family time. Drove from
Beaufort to Columbia to Anderson (near Clemson). Some traffic around
Columbia otherwise smooth sailing. Since you West Coast folks will
see it over an hour before us, I'm looking forward to some early
first hand reports.

We're our way up I-5 to Corvallis. There's *no* traffic, suggesting
that all the gloomy predictions dissuaded some potential travelers.
Corvallis webcams showed bright sunshine at 8 this morning. Looking
good so far.
20 m was quite active in all band segments yesterday. Most of my
QSOs were on SSB running 10 W to the 4' whip. The KX2's auto-notch
and filtering helped a lot with QRM.
Signing /7 got me more attention than /QRP....
